About 03LU4DZ

03LU4DZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a occlusion procedure on the right thyroid artery using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with intraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, occlusion means completely closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to ligation of thyroid vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (06.92).

For a different body part, codes include 03L04DZ (right internal mammary artery), 03L14DZ (left internal mammary artery), 03L24DZ (innominate artery), 03L34DZ (right subclavian artery), 03L44DZ (left subclavian artery), 03L54DZ (right axillary artery) and 23 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 03LU0DZ (open) and 03LU3DZ (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 03LU4CZ (extraluminal device) and 03LU4ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 625 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures with MCC), DRG 626 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures with CC), DRG 627 (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Thyroid, Parathyroid and Thyroglossal Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
